We are at 25 days from XIII MOC WRE,
Orienteering event organized by COC – Clube de Orientação do
Centro that has the 1st stage counting to the World Ranking. The
competition will have two stages in Marinha Grande King’s forest,
on 25 and 26 of February, and a night urban Sprint stage at 19h30 of
Saturday, in Marinha Grande city.
For the competition were prepared 25
different courses for each day, with 122 forest controls for Saturday
WRE Long Distance stage and 102 forest controls for Sunday Middle
Distance stage.
The event is open to everyone willing
to learn an exciting sport, practiced in full contact with nature,
environmentally friendly and performed at each one speed. For this,
there are four open courses adapted to different physical and
technical skills. To those willing to try for the first time but
without enough confidence to go alone to the forest, the organization
offers monitors to help to get acquainted with the sport.
The invitation for registration is
open, using the e-mail xiiimoc.wre2012@gmail.com or, online, using

foreign athletes, from 121 clubs distributed by the 38 classes
